Lucy #349: You then make a quite common (and a quite disturbing) claim when you say,<br />

―[God] made a way for everyone to be in his Kingdom, but [many] refuse that gift.‖<br />

My Friend, if God truly is as perfect in His Love as Jesus himself says He is (see Matthew<br />

5:48 + 1 John 4:18), then He will forever leave the door open for us to choose Heaven, and this no<br />

matter how staunchly or how persistently we refuse to enter … In Truth, if each of us only has an<br />

80 year window of opportunity to essentially guess correctly (with eternal torment as the<br />

consequence if we miss … Seriously?!?!?!), and if we cannot humbly change our minds once we die<br />

and only then receive the objective evidence that God is still withholding from us to<br />

this very day (How diabolical of Him!), then it is He who is flawed and it is His Kingdom<br />

that needs repair – not us or ours!<br />

You & yours are the first to admit that we are all ―sinners‖, Lucy; that we are all innately<br />

flawed – and He made us so! (or at the very least, He allowed us to choose to become so & remain so)<br />

… As such, it is nothing short of wickedly unjust of your God to punish us for failing<br />

when He knew in advance that most of us would indeed fail!<br />

P.S. And by the way, it is patently ridiculous to say that anyone would ever choose to burn<br />

forever, my Friend. The only people who would ever truly do so are (the extremely rare) sadomasochists<br />

– who would not even mind being in Hell anyway. How fortunate then, that The Apocalypse of Peter (a<br />

book that was considered by the Church to be valid Scripture for several hundreds of years after the death<br />

of Christ – and a book that 2 Timothy 3:16 seems to endorse as valid Scripture to this day) resolves this<br />

tricky problem for you; noting as it does that God will be reminded by the saved in Heaven of the perfect<br />

Mercy that He has temporarily forgotten, and will then repent Himself, and free every Soul from the cruel<br />

confines of his unjust Hell …<br />

―My Father will give unto them all the life, the glory, and the Kingdom that passeth not away ...<br />

It is because of them that have believed in me that I am come. It is also because of them that have<br />

believed in me, that, at their word, I shall have compassion for all men … Behold now what shall come<br />

upon them in the last days, when the day of God and the day of the decision of the judgment of God<br />

cometh. From the east unto the west shall all the children of men be gathered together<br />

before my Father that liveth forever. And He shall command Hell to open its bars of<br />

adamant and give up all that is therein.‖ ~ The Apocalypse of Peter (Coptic <strong>edition</strong>)<br />
